Where to watch all episodes of Fallout season 2

Fallout season 2 streams exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Viewers will need to subscribe to a Prime membership to watch the series. Prime Video access comes with a Prime membership that costs $14.99 per month. A standalone Prime Video subscription is also available for $8.99 per month. 

Both subscription plans are no longer ad-free by default as of April 2025. Subscribers need to pay an additional $2.99 per month for ad-free streaming. 

One new episode will be released every week on Wednesdays at the same time until the finale on February 4, 2026. This is a new weekly rollout schedule for the series after the full drop of the first season. It hopes to build anticipation as the story unfolds instead of binge-watching the entire season.

What to expect from Fallout season 2

The second season will pick up after the events of the season 1 finale when Lucy discovered the series of secrets Hank had been keeping. Her next move will be hunting with The Ghoul to find Hank. Fallout season 2 will also bring its characters to a key location from the video game franchise.

Season 2's first short synopsis reads: 

"The new season will pick up in the aftermath of season one's epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas."

That said, series co-showrunner Genever Robertson-Dworet said, per GamesRadar+, that the second season will not reveal which of the endings from 2010's Fallout: New Vegas is canon. That is despite it being set in New Vegas. She said that they had discussions about "avoiding making one particular ending correct [from] any of the games."

Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins return as Lucy MacLean and The Ghoul, respectively. Aaron Moten as Maximus, Moisés Arias as Norm, Frances Turner as Barb, and Kyle MacLachlan as Overseer Hank will also be joining them again. 

Plenty of new faces in the series but familiar faces in Hollywood will be joining them for season 2 as well. Confirmed new additions include Macaulay Culkin and Justin Theroux. 

Fallout season 3 has been confirmed before season 2 has even premiered.
